Biography

Charlotte Bront? (1816…1855)。—Novelist; daughter of the Rev。 Patrick B。; a clergyman of Irish descent and of eccentric habits who embittered the lives of his children by his peculiar theories of education。 Brought up in a small parsonage close to the graveyard of a bleak; windswept village on the Yorkshire moors; and left motherless in early childhood; she was “the motherly friend and guardian of her younger sisters;” of whom two; Emily and Anne; shared; but in a less degree; her talents。 After various efforts as schoolmistresses and governesses; the sisters took to literature and published a vol。 of poems under the names of Currer; Ellis; and Acton Bell; which; however; fell flat。 Charlotte then wrote her first novel; The Professor; which did not appear until after her death; and began Jane Eyre; which; appearing in 1847; took the public by storm。 It was followed by Shirley in 1849; and Villette in 1852。 In 1854 she was married to her father’s curate; the Rev。 A。 Nicholls; but after a short though happy married life she died in 1855。 Anne B

。 (1820…1849) was the authoress of The Tenant of Wildfell Hall and Agnes Grey (1848)。 She had not the intellectual force of her sisters。 The novels of Charlotte especially created a strong impression from the first; and the published of Jane Eyre gave rise to much curiosity and speculation as to its authorship。 Their strength and originality have retained for them a high place in English fiction which is likely to prove permanent。 There is a biography of Charlotte by Mrs。 Gaskell (q。v。)。

Emily Bront? (1818…1848)。—Novelist and poet。 Sister to Charlotte

and Anne

。 Wrote a story of extraordinary reality and imagination in Wuthering Heights; in whose pages the Yorkshire moors are given a wild and tragic personal reality。 The same emotional force marks the best of her poems; though written with an apparently heedless pen for her own relief。

Preface

A preface to the first edition of “Jane Eyre” being unnecessary; I gave none: this second edition demands a few words both of acknowledgment and miscellaneous remark。

My thanks are due in three quarters。

To the Public; for the indulgent ear it has inclined to a plain tale with few pretensions。

To the Press; for the fair field its honest suffrage has opened to an obscure aspirant。
